Navigating Acid-Base Calculations | MCAT Content

In this video, we will cover how to sequence acid-base calculations by using a calculation concept map. We will build our map up by understanding how the conversion in the p-scale (pH, pOH, pKa, and pKb) are the same as well as how we convert between K-values and concentrations.
After we have built up a simple version of the map we will learn about how to convert from Ka and Kb values into hydroxide and hydronium concentrations and finalize our map. Throughout we walk through example problems.

    Hey, man, I know you don't have a lot of subscribers, and these videos don't get a lot of views, but I just wanted to say that these videos are so well made and have truly impacted me on my MCAT journey. Being a non-traditional applicant, these videos made such a difference. You were able to explain everything in Layperson's terms and get the point across in the simplest manner to help us get the questions correct. Keep making videos!! I hope this channel blows up and you get the recognition you deserve. Thanks again :).

    Okay, I've really struggled with the calculations regarding these, but this video really connects everything together and provides a great toolbox. Now onto some practise problems. Thanks a lot for all your videos. You're doing great work and hope you make more in the future.

    That previous video was a live and had an error so this is a redo and a condensed version. Eventually I will replace the lives with cleaned up versions that have better visuals.

    Hey, would this work in all instances? In the first "full map" question, I based my answer on what integer value I'd need to add in order to reach 7, which was 2. Then for the second full map question, I did the same thing, giving me 3--then I subtracted 3 from 14 to get 11. I'm sure this is what your video explains, but I'm not sure if my shorthand is reliable. please lmk your thoughts

    Hi. At 8:40 where did the 10^-2 for weak acid concentration come from?

  • @EightfoldMCAT

    @EightfoldMCAT

    Жыл бұрын

    It is the weak acid concentration (0.01 M) listed above the map in scientific notation form. This piece of information would typically be given to you by the passage or question.

    I have a couple of open slots for private tutoring at present. I am working on my website and will get more information about private tutoring up there, but it isn’t quite finished. For now you can send me an email (chriscernac@eightfoldlearning.com) for more details or set up a free consult at this link here: calendly.com/chrismcat/eightfold-consultation

    Hey can you respond to this as quickly as possible? How do we answer MCAT hypothesis questions? You are the only person that actually goes over how the Mcat tests these things and how we should learn and think about it. Thank you
